SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 3, 2010, notice was published 

in the Federal Register (75 FR 67682) 

that a request for a scientific research 

permit to take sea turtles had been 

submitted by the applicant. The 

requested permit has been issued under 

the authority of the Endangered Species 

Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR parts 222–226). 

The five-year permit authorizes the 

capture by trawl of up to 345 

loggerhead, 29 Kemp’s ridley, 9 green, 

1 leatherback, and 1 hawksbill sea turtle 

in order to assess temporal change in 

catch rates, size distributions, sex and 

genetic ratios, and health of sea turtles. 

Captures would occur annually in 

coastal waters between Winyah Bay, SC 

and St. Augustine, FL. Turtles would be 

handled, blood sampled, measured, 

flipper and passive integrated 

transponder tagged, photographed, and 

released. A subsample of animals would 

be subject to barnacle, keratin, fecal, and 

tissue sampling, cloacal swabs, and 

attachment of satellite and/or VHF 

transmitters. Up to five loggerhead, one 

Kemp’s ridley, one green, one 

leatherback, and one hawksbill sea 

turtle could be accidentally killed over 

the life of the permit. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
